Pro Extreme wicked drag wreck
http://www.adrl.us/live/
Tommy DAprile, driving Mel Eaves 1968 Camaro, escaped injury in a
spectacular, explosive crash in the third and final Pro Extreme qualifying
session of the day for the ADRL Hardees Georgia Drags VI at South Georgia
Motorsports Park, near Valdosta.
Leaving from the right lane, DApriles ride appeared to lose an oil line a
couple of hundred feet out and when his rear tires went through the
slippery stuff, the car made a hard left turn to strike the left guardwall
nearly head on. With a 20-percent nitro mix coursing through a Roots-type
blower, the impact resulted in a massive explosion before the car recrossed
the track and hit the right wall with similar results before DAprile
finally managed to get the chutes out and bring it to a halt in the middle
of the track.
DAprile, from Port Charlotte, FL, climbed from the wreck almost immediately
after it stopped.
